Ada: Well, somebody’s been busy with genetic engineering while I was asleep.
The Fox are good at that. The Wolves might be as good as the Fox, but they have, and stick to, a code of ethics that says stay out of that.

Considering the way Cyantian history tells the story, I imagine the Rumuah aren’t keen on treating their creations as slaves. Yes the Cyantians were servants, but not slaves. History paints a pretty picture of the relationship between them, almost parental. If it hadn’t been pleasant, history would probably have been written differently. Perhaps Ada expects the “grandkids” to have been treated poorly, given the fox tendency towards egotism.

The history does seem to paint the interaction with their creators as more then just slaves.

Though I wonder just how much of Quinn can she perceive. If she can sense psychic powers and that little tidbit Quinn dropped, she could think that the foxes are their best hop but are to dangerous to trust. That could mean what ever chances she saw for her race are potentially shrinking fast.

The Rumuah seemed to have designed the Ricael and Talin as purpose made servants, complete with species determined class roles. While this has a similar flaw to the fox color based caste system, The Rumuah seem to at least have the reputation of treating their servants better than the fox guttouve get treated.

Also, time might have worn some of the sharper edges away on those memories. Plus, there was likely some trouble and chaos when the races were first left alone by the Rumuah, as each species split off and each formerly single role species had to branch out into a society of its own.
